Stock A has an expected return of 12.5% and a standard deviation of 6%. Stock B has an expected return of 11.5% and a standard deviation of 5%. The returns of the two stocks have a covariance of -.002. What is the correlation of the returns of Stocks A and B? If you decide to split your total investment by putting 50% in A and 50% in B, what are the expected return and standard deviation of your portfolio? If you decide to split your total investment by putting 25% in A and 75% in B, what are the expected return and standard deviation of your portfolio? If you decide to split your total investment by putting 75% in A and 25% in B, what are the expected return and standard deviation of your portfolio? Which of the preceding scenarios, (b), (c), or (d), is better? Explain.

T is the transition matrix for a 4-state absorbing Markov Chain. State #1 and state #2 are absorbing states. T =[1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 .1 .4 .5 .05 0 .5 .45] Use the standard methods for absorbing Markov Chains to find the matrices N = (I - Q)-1 and B = NR. Answer the following questions based on these matrices. (Give your answers correct to 2 decimal places.) (a) If you start in state #3, what is the expected number of steps needed to reach an absorbing state. (Your answer will come from the matrix N.) steps (b) If you start in state #4, what is the expected number of steps needed to reach an absorbing state. (Your answer here will come from the matrix N.) steps (c) If you start in state #3, what is the probability that you will eventually land in state #1? (Your answer will come from the matrix B.) (d) If you start in state #4, what is the probability that you will eventually land in state #1? (Your answer will come from the matrix B.)

43. Let \( f(x)=1.125 x^{2}-0.75 x+1 \) and \( g(x)-2 \). (a) On the interval \( [0,2] \), both functions have the same average rate of change. This is also true for the interval \( [2,4] \). (b) On the interval \( [4,6] \), however, \( \Delta g / \Delta x \) is more than twice \( \Delta f / \Delta x \). And on the interval \( [6,8], \Delta g / \Delta x \) is more than six times \( \Delta f / \Delta x \). (c) On the interval \( [10,12] \), the average rate of change of the exponential function is 64 times that of the quadratic function. 4. Let \( g(x)=x^{4} \) and \( h(x)=3^{x} \)
